fictitious force

Examples of fictitious force in the following topics:

• Other Geophysical Applications

  • Tidal and Coriolis forces may not be obvious over a small time-space scale, but they are important in meteorology, navigation, and fishing.
  • We have studied tidal and Coriolis forces previously.
  • To review, the tidal force is responsible for the tides -- it is a "differential force," due to a secondary effect of the force of gravity.
  • The Coriolis force is a fictitious force, representing a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame of the Earth.
  • Identify fields that have to take into account the tidal and Coriolis forces

• The Coriolois Force

  • Both forces are proportional to the mass of the object.
  • The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate, and the centrifugal force is proportional to its square.
  • These additional forces are termed inertial forces, fictitious forces, or pseudo-forces.
  • Because the Earth completes only one rotation per day, the Coriolis force is quite small.
  • This low-pressure system over Iceland spins counter-clockwise due to balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force.

• Corporate Social Responsibility

  • The legal and historic roots of the modern corporation reach well back into the eighteenth century, but it was in the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century that this truly extraordinary form of human organization came into its own and, the twentieth century, became the dominant economic force on earth.
  • Corporations are fictitious, corporations are juridical persons created by law.

• Cluster Structure

  • A division may operate under a separate name, the equivalent of a corporation or limited liability company obtaining a fictitious name or "doing business as" certificate and operating a business under that fictitious name.

• The Need for New Products

  • This fictitious company has marketed eight different products over time.
  • Sales of individual products and total company sales for a fictitious company with multiple products.

• Randomization Tests: Two Conditions

  • The data in Table 1 are from a fictitious experiment comparing an experimental group with a control group.

• Randomization Tests: Two or More Conditions

  • Table 1 shows the data from a fictitious experiment with three groups.

• Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainable development in the global environment

  • ., said he fabricated key financial results, including a fictitious cash balance of more than USD 1 billion (Sheth, 2009).

• Structure of Corporations

  • Often a division operates under a separate name and is the equivalent of a corporation or limited liability company that obtains a fictitious name or a "doing business as" certificate.

• Bullwhip effect

  • For example, Open Range Jeans (a fictitious company) are sold in a popular retail store chain.
